Elderly woman brutally attacked in front of her East Los Angeles home
Thankfully her neighbors responded quickly to her screams and were able to take a picture of her attacker.
Martinez says she was cleaning her front yard Saturday morning around 6 a.m. when someone attacked her from behind. "I didn't know what was going on," she recalled in Spanish. "I screamed for help when he was punching me."Martinez has lived in the community for decades and says nothing like this has happened to her or anyone she knows before.
A photo of the suspect that Sheriff's Department detectives are seeking shows a man believed to be in his 30s wearing a brown sweater, gray shorts and white shoes with red laces. He was riding a black bicycle.
